Mooloolaba Accommodation

Sea Life Sunshine Coast

Explore the depths of the ocean and marvel as sharks, rays and reef fish swim right over you in the underwater tunnel. Touch sea creatures in the tidal pool, see mesmerising marine life displays, and discover something ‘fishy’ at Seal Island show. Roll up your sleeves and become a Marine Biologist for the day. And for the real adventurers, the Seal Swim and Seal Encounters allow you to get up close with some of the coast’s most adorable sea creatures!

Parkyn Parade Seafood Precinct

You'll find these tender and flavour-packed shellfish gracing menus right across the Sunshine Coast, but nothing beats a fresh prawn straight off the trawler. Parkyn Parade Seafood Precinct is a working port and your go-to for sourcing the freshest seafood on the Sunshine Coast. Pack a picnic, stroll to Parkyn Parade and order a kilo of Mooloolaba prawns from one of the many retailers that line the shore. It's a short walk back to the beach to find a spot to drop your towel and dine alfresco on some of the freshest seafood you're ever likely to eat.

Take a 'doors off' flight in a seaplane

Paradise Seaplanes’ "Wilga Warbird" will take you on a joyride over some of the most picturesque parts of the coast. Forget about grabbing a window seat for the best view, this baby has more glass windows than a helicopter! You’ll cruise low and slow at around 500 feet, taking in magnificent views of the Maroochy River, Noosa and Mount Coolum, Caloundra and the Pumicestone Passage, or Rainbow Beach and Double Island Point. For a big punch of extra POW!, upgrade to a ‘Touch the Sky - Doors Off’ tour.
